Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - The Waiting (Eddie Vedder)

[DoubleR2591]

Eddie Vedder does a great job at singing a song wirtten by a legend!

[buelligan1964]

AWESOME , Living Legends, thanks for posting.

[ceejay0207]

I get tears in my eyes when I hear Eddie sing this song! So awesome of Petty to have Eddie sing with him!!

[72Blazin]

We saw Eddie perform this song at White River Amphitheater in Enumclaw, WA. He also came out to perform American Girl during the encore and missed the opening lyrics to the song. It was pretty funny.

[jrbaskind]

I love this video! So Cool!

[raffishizing]

I wasn't an Eddie fan until this very moment...Tom's making me maybe rethink a few things. Love it.

[mccartney711]

Loved it it was great rock on bro

[lsullboy]

Love TP but he said it all when he said, "you never heard this song until you hear Eddie Vedder sing it" pretty high praise from one rock god about another. Notice how Tom totally lets Eddie take the song pretty much the whole way w/o interfering. Wow, I agree with Tom best version ever !!!!

[tsroutson]

Hey where did you get the video of Eddie singing the Waiting to load to youtube? It clearly looks like a professional shoot. Do you have the original high res file before youtube conversion?

It's one of my favorite live recordings ever and I just want to get a better sounding audio file

Thanks!

[Mrbeanoe]

i normally dont like Eddies vocals, however he nailed it in this song!

[tompondus]

7 Dumbass out there . Amazing version :)

[collinsoj]

does anybody think there's a chance eddie vedder will join tom on stage at isle of wight festival considering pearl jam are headlining the night after?

[MrJorgedaburgos]

@collinsoj I think there's not a chance EV & TP will join on stage @ IOW festival...just because I'd better think they both will join Mr. Bruce "God in Earth" Springsteen on his stage...If that happens, after that I can die in peace

[HallWayGang]

@MrJorgedaburgos You will never see that Buddy. Not that TP does not like Mr Bruce. It's just that TP has his own church of Rock & Roll. True Story.

[MalcolmBucklund]

@collinsoj I have a feeling that all three headliners will make appearances with one another. Ed, Bruce and Tom all get along very well. I really hope to add this to the travel plan.

[fixedgearplanet]

@collinsoj wow. certainly seems possible!

[lighthouseluvr]

I wanna pinch tom's ass.



[Sunshine8892]

AWESOME!! A "CLASSIC"...:)

[SecsSells]

How sweet is that!

[myoriginallove]

a promise is a promise.

[myoriginallove]

dear sweet bjezus... my ears feel like heaven right now. <3.

[Holmer87]

Don´t get much better than this! Petty and Vedder, would give one arm to see this live!

[collinqb]

Vedder looks like a kid in a candy store. You can totally tell that he is so excited to be one the stage with the guys! Awesome stuff man

[lindab30]

Kudos to TOM PETTY - he shared his music and gave Eddie he solo - soooo coool - no doubt that Tom is a beautiful person!

[thatguygabe27]

Was at that show. That was one of my favorite concert experiences watching Vedder sing my favorite Petty song. Awesome!

[newt1972]

This is just awesome. Awesome. Effing awesome.

[Sharynearl]

Oh Baby, what a song and what a delivery!

[sarcastech]

I was at this show...flew from Kamloops BC to Denver...very cool.

[Bandogrl]

VEDDER MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!! SEE YOU @ PJ20 EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thundroad]

I honestly don't know what I would do if this video was ever taken down.

[aptitudedude]

5 patient mother fuckers.

[santewells]

5 people never needed to wait

[tongbei1]

Being a very big TP&THB fan, I really like this version :) Nice job Eddie!

[WritersBlockPoet]

this version just never gets old...just amazing

[GreenTVHost]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ick! love it. love it. love it.

[suhaylett]

Is there a video or CD you can buy of this show?

[jackonemillion]

4 people think the waiting is the easiest part

[Zitrone1212]

Wow wow wow

Thats wonderful, i love it so much

Tom Petty and Eddie Vedder together unbelievable,amazingly touching, rocking...

Truly Madly deeply in Love with them and the Way they make Music! LOVE

Thank you for posting! :-)))))

[Getzia08]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stevor811]

You say Lady Gaga, I say The Doors

You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin

You say Jonas Brothers, I say Pink Floyd

You say Justin Bieber, I say Tom Petty

You say Taylor Swift, I say Nirvana

You say Hannah Montana, I say The Who

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[samot14]

can´t  believe how that guy sings. eddie vedder is amazing.

[ncuso33]

I jizzed at 5:00

[crimsontide343]

Eddie Vedder is such a bad ass!

[waymez]

Just bloody brilliant - that is all.

[levendi49]

Simply the best....still got it and always will.......M.C. way to rip up on the axe.....

[Bewitched76]

wow. just wow.



[roadrunner19651]

What Tom said!

[OelfredBiernot]

cool

[WritersBlockPoet]

goosebumps

[wcm68tn]

Wow. I had no idea someone could do this better than Tom Petty. But Petty did. Awesome.

[freewheelinQ]

4 people JUST TRY AND PRETEND!!!

[epsdelta]

Damn that was sweet. I guess 4 people dislike waiting... for sheer awesomeness!

[MotherTeresa63]

LOVE!! I Love Eddie :)

[matthewcobrien]

Love It!

[Nigelxman1]

I love how nerdy Eddie is.

[theachtungtree]

the song is so byrds...love it

[Jesusfreak2112]

Like Tom said, "You've heard it until you've heard Eddie Vedder sing it"

[iamsamiamiamiamiamia]

Can somebody please tell me where the full video of this is from? I know part of it is on the Running Down a Dream DVD, but I swear I saw the whole thing as a special feature at one point now can't find it...maybe I'm just losing it?

[dogstar75]

@iamsamiamiamiamiamia the show was included on the running down a dream dvd as a seperate disc.

if you want to watch it again, search youtube for "Tom Petty 30th Anniversary Concert" its the complete 2 hour show in one vid.

[MrPingarick]

I LOVE THIS!!!! I wish I had been there!!!

[LOV2ROK2PJ]

Hey,that's me waving my arms back and forth at :47 seconds in the black shirt and backwards hat on in the 3rd row!!!

[HeWhoForgot]

Where can one find this proshot performance? I have the Tom Petty, Runnin down a Dream, bluray but I am only teased by cuts from this show......

[dogstar75]

@HeWhoForgot search youtube for "Tom Petty 30th Anniversary Concert". its the complete 2hour show in one vid

[hevylevy1]

That may have been the coolest thing I've heard this year.

[jmibelltone]

Excellent Excellent ! Great sound! M.C. on guitar was fucking brilliant !

Vox amps RULE!

[WhyRtheStrokesSoGood]

when tom petty provides you with backing vocals you know youve succeeded in life.

[drewbiedoo2]

I was there- awesome show!!!!!

[supercalafrgusydney]

I like how I just clicked on it thinking it was tom singing and it was Eddie:D and how Eddie kinda dose his little air guitar thingy!

[chefboy077]

I was at both of the Tom Petty/PJ shows in Denver,so cool to see this video!!!!

[BonnieBean]

Best Eddie vocals I've ever heard- even Tom thinks so! LOVED IT.

[SlashDrunk]

12 strings Fender ?

[TomMotster]

The ending of the second guitarist is soo fuckin great!

[steffeonthetube]

So fuckin great!!

[BBJerry8colorado]

Incredible things happen in Colorado

[MountErrigal]

excellent sound quality

[TheRonsteff]

Sorry...my favorite TP song...please do it by yourself,Tom.

[JeremiasMusic]

YEAH! Love it...this jams and these dudes RoCK!

[suhaylett]

What a brilliant team, words arn't good enough.

[GreenTVHost]

simply awesome!

[wetdtyuu]

Sufuckinperb!

[atlas13shrugged]

Eddie is good....with Tom Petty. If you think that he is better than Thomas Earl then, kill yourself.

[BlackRoseImmortal]

So fucking awesome!

[jokeco68]

Fucken WOW!

[annihilus2]

Zoe was here!

[suhaylett]

Love!!!

[Neil2112]

Can't........ Look .......Away...... Vedders voice is still one of the best in the business.

[SanityIsSuchADrag]

Two of my favorite singers - SWEETNESS!!

[LZEP332]

Eddie and Tom are definitely the stars of this video, but Mike Campbell just beasts it up on that solo

[ronlacy64]

As a musician, this is a dream come true, it just does'nt get better than this. Two of the best singers of all time finally get togather they rock , one of the newer singers to not screw a song up for petty, truely icons!

[LoserGetsLucky]

Probably my two favorite artists of all time. Hard to beat this.

[debi5058]

Great!

[W1LLDEE]

As a life-long Petty fan, I tend to believe that his songs are sacred and untouchable, but I do like this duet between him and Eddie Vedder. Just goes to show what a down-to-earth, humble guy Tom is. He doesn't mind sharing his stage.

[keeperblue]

@W1LLDEE Word.

[lsubooth]

Awesome awesome....

[lalalaalydia]

God, I wish I was there.

[hovdenk018]

i went to petty in milwaukee this summer praying that vedder would magically show up for the waiting...he didn't, but petty let us all know it was still his song

[deweypug]

Seem apparent that Eddie can do prime justice to any song he sings...

[butterfly93060]

Awesomenesssssss

[mattrhames]

I absolutely love this song... can it be purchased?

[jasuschrist]

@mattrhames use a youtube to mp3 converter?

[levendi49]

@jasuschrist google youtube to mp3 converter and follow the instructions...it should wind up on your Itunes.....good luck

[apachewindtalker]

this collaboration is AMAZING. . .

Eddie V. rocks the lyrics and emotion, and Tom Petty kickin' back watchin' him kill it !

I like Tom's 1985 Live version where he talks about his broken hand, those songs bring the HEAT !! (:(:

[mthrnatrsson1]

GREAT !!! BEAUTIFUL SONG.....

[PjGrunger1Metal1Rock]

Wish i had that voice Eddie .... You can do any tone you want !!1

[allysonvee]

Goosebumps!!

[Slapbass7991]

I love this version. Eddie sounds so comfortable singing this classic song.

[TheCDS4444]

Why does Eddie Vedder always hold his arms like he just had blood drawn?  Seriously. It's like a phlebotomist from Quest Diagnostics should be following him around with a cotton ball and surgical tape.

[senselesskiller]

@TheCDS4444 They're probably cramping from all the gold records he's had to hold.

[pridden76]

@TheCDS4444 LOL Hahahahahaha! But every time he does this, he is certainly on fire!! Blood draw position= hell yeah!

[TheCDS4444]

@pridden76 LOL Even as he ages, Eddie Vedder is still hot... Creepy hot! The "I just got back from the phlebotomist" look makes him even hotter! ROTFLMAO

[pridden76]

@TheCDS4444 I agree! Eddie is so damn hot!! I believe that 2006 was his hottest year ever. Look at the Immagine in Cornice dvd! I mean, shit!! Hahaha! I´m jealous at his wife. And yeah, his phlebotomist look doesn´t change any of this. He´s a hottie.

[Lazman65]

WHERE CAN I FIND THE REST OF THIS CONCERT???? I wanna see American Girl good quality

[jasuschrist]

:) they should put a mini trampoline under tom

[jvjujyfd]

Just brilliant...I wish I could sing like Eddie..cos he dances like me :)

[dupfsu1]

Eddie is the man. As for the Republican remark , I feel Eddie's music has nothing to do with which side of the aisle you are on. Can't we just enjoy the music for what it is... uplifting, rocking, and beautiful.

[MatthewDFKapsa]

You can tell Eddie poured his heart & soul into singing this sond out of respect to Tom Petty. The best thing about Eddie is that he would do the same thing for you to when you go to see him sing. He cares about everyone, with the exception of most Republicans but thats understandable. Eddie does the impossible and makes a vital positive mark on this planet when everything else is a negative.

[goldyfdbuckysgf]

damn, i saw him about a week earlier than this in milwaukee and he did the same deal with eddie. great show, i wasn't even 16 and I remember this biker dude being amazed that me and my high school friends knew every word of every song. still the best concert I've ever been to. those heartbreakers just have it and so does pearl jam

[snowfish1121]

OH SHIT!

Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker.

I think I just had a heart attack.

That was the absolute most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life.

Eddie, you beautiful hunk of man-meat, you.

Tom, it was awesome of you to let yourself be pwned at your own song. :)

[Hunter172]

@snowfish1121

Ah yes, and also, those manly man love hugs ♥

[petefader]

Eddie's voice is pitch corrected..trust me I'm a sound engineer. Wierd because he doesn't need it, but that's just what producers do these days.

[JEPaceful]

Never would have thought anyone could sing it like Tom... But I love Vedder - so... Good Combo!

[grateful5124]

You can get this mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[monalisa63]

closest thing to heaven that I've seen!

[moonchild845]

WOW!!!! Eddie is perfect with this song....and Tom, Tom is always perfect :)

[keepnfaith44]

one word...GREAT

[CharlotteLouiseKate]

I died when my sister sent me this link. This is my favorite Tom Petty song being sung by my favorite musician. EdVed :]

[Zombpocalypse]

this is the best thing i've ever heard.

[petefader]

Wow, he's perfect for this song..nice. :)

[levendi49]

The last thing that Ben Tench would want to hear is that he even remotely resembles the asswipe who allegedly was the President of this nation for eight miserable years......so MrTable1991, you might want to rethink your post......Dubya couldn't even wipe his own ass let alone play keyboards like Benmont Tench

[trittov]

Benmont Tench is playing piano

[crazyguy1279]

i think i just jizzed

[ronlacy64]

@crazyguy1279 I know watcha mean as a musician it don't get any better dude they rock forever!

[ronlacy64]

@crazyguy1279 I know watcha mean dude, they rock forever man, as a musician it just does'nt get no better !

[levendi49]

@crazyguy1279 ....cleanup on aisle 3....cleanup on aisle 3 please........spot on bro! one of the best versions of this song I've ever seen

[dperryd1]

who are the two idiots who hate tom and eddie

[dperryd1]

who are the morons who hate eddie and tom

[daveyharsh]

Um .. anyone got the link to the whole freekin' concert .. please ... Petty Please!!

[wazzucougfan88]

Awesome. I love Vedder and Petty. But if I went to a Tom Petty concert I'd want him to sing at least half of the words to this song. It's a Petty staple.

[MrTable1991]

The guy who plays the keyboard looks like george bush xD

[GreatDylan420]

That guys a little cooler than W

[mitch222ful]

Dam! give him a guitar to hold so he doesn't look so lost.

[bigdaveonbass]

Nice way to cover Vedder forgetting to go to the bridge.

[karma123]

@bigdaveonbass

dobn´t like it; Petty soloing improvised? Yeah right... it was mean´t to be that way. Can anyone confirm?

[karma123]

@karma123

I just checked and they did it the same way in Denver on 7/2/06; the previous day!

We´re talking 2:49 onwards right?

[TheClownfight]

This was in Denver, I was at this show. We also got to see Benmont play with Pearl Jam for several songs, since their keyboard player (Boom) couldn't make the show. Petty also came out and did a couple songs with PJ.

[falseadvertising1]

great vid.....the energy Vedder brings to the song completes it.......better than even when the lead was sung by TP...........kick ass stuff!!!!!

[GoExplorers2008]

green day vs. pearl jam?

[scoop388]

@GoExplorers2008 is that a real question?

[GoExplorers2008]

@scoop388 billy joe it is then

[theachtungtree]

@GoExplorers2008 hahahahahahaahahhahahahaahha..­..jesus fucking christ...the nerve of some people....green day? muawwhhahaha....green day is a fucking joke, get a life. Please...PLEASE stop mentioning them in the same sentence as the mighty PJ.....green day are clowns, mtv fashion trendy monkeys, fuck em

[darthmoop]

@GoExplorers2008

I lol'd. Hard. Pearl Jam wins this one.

[misscrystalcat]

I think Eddie Vedder is one of the few who consistantly improves upon the original artist's versions of songs. I love this song but Eddie singing it takes it to another level.

[LesSmith45]

This is amazing like it was made for him to sing. What a treat. Thank you Tom Petty and Eddie Vedder THANk YOU

[nospamreceived]

"don't let it get to you..."

easier said than done.... in the meantime I'll just console myself with this video.

[sk8nkurtcobain]

*jaw drops to the ground*

[adripallavicini]

waw!!! what two!!!!

[GoExplorers2008]

i love those guys

[thebuttafly22]

eddie vedder and tom petty!!!! ooops i just jizzed

[sonomafan]

Wow! Love this!

[mcburnski]

absolute quality. imagine being able to improve on the original........

[GoExplorers2008]

i like tom petty, but i dont think his substance abuse counselors do

[Sperling123]

okay this is a great performance, and i'm a huge Petty fan, but Tom totally baa's like a sheep at 2:27 haha

[Williamairwaves1]

This song is fucking amazing

[hoosier3060]

I would have had a heart attack if I was there and heard Petty, very non-chalantly say "Eddie Vedder".

[SegundoTrece]

La mejor banda de rock del planeta..

[employmentheaven]

Totally amazing!

[travistou4]

fantastic

[srfrr]

I cried when thy played this live. and I am NO vagina.

[samrp08]

AWESOME!

[Propaganda78]

Eddie Vedder's voice was made for this song. Beautiful, I still get chills everytime I hear it.

[xolyssa09xo]

Eddie Vedder is awesome, Tom Petty is the SHIT!<3 goin to see him this year 2010=)

[kimbalcross]

I've never seen Vedder EVER put on a song that wasn't amazing and almost always better than the original artist when he does covers. Eddie is an amazing talent, better than Elvis, Buddy Holly and Michael Jackson combined.

[LUVstufflikepandas45]

Its great... its wonderful, then he opens his mouth and I MELT. Soooooo good.

[Ollievarium]

Fuck me, what an amazing performance! I rarely say that about anything outside tubular bells live. AMAZING.
